This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Some 65 punk rock fans had their hair shaved and their piercings removed by police in Indonesia’s conservative Aceh province after a raid on a punk-rock concert.
“The presence of the punk community is disturbing, and disrupts the life of the Banda Aceh public,” said deputy mayor Illiza Sa’aduddin Djamal, who took credit for personally supervising several anti-punk raids over the past few months.
The latest raid, however, was the largest one yet.
“This is a new social disease affecting Banda Aceh,” the deputy mayor went on to say. Among other things, she opposes their mixed-sex gatherings, which she says “is against Islamic Shariah.”
Those detained were transferred to a “reeducation” State Police camp located outside the capital. One of the detainees claimed the busted concert was put on to raise money for orphans. “He’s part of the punk community,” Illiza responded, “and whoever was caught has to go through our reeducation so they wake up,” she said.
What did we do to deserve arresting? We didn’t steal and we didn’t bother anyone,” said 20-year-old Acehnese punk Fuazan. “The punk community in Banda Aceh is not involved with criminality. So what’s the crime that justifies us being brought to this camp? This country hasn’t yet made it illegal to express yourself, right?”
Police plan to keep the detainees at the camp for at least 10 days. Deputy Mayor Illiza vowed more crackdowns “until they’re all caught.”

Journey to Oaxaca
This holiday season, right after Christmas, I will be taking a photographic journey to Oaxaca Mexico for two weeks. There, I will be acquainted with the culture of Mexico and document one family in a village outside of the city. Every day I am there, my goal will be to capture their daily routines and way of life, which is so undoubtedly different from my own. I will use still images as well as video to build a compelling body of work that will hopefully speak to viewers and give them an extraordinary experience. At the end of the trip, my finished work will be included in a group exhibition at the Manuel Alvarez Bravo Photography Center in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Help me to raise money by pledging on Kickstarter and I will give you a piece of the experience. Or share this with everyone you know to spread the word. I know times are tough and money sucks but that’s why I need help with this trip.
Thank you!
so this weekend I went to a rally for occupyboston…and seriously it was probably the most fun I have had here in a long time. So many people just wanting a change…wanting to have a voice just made me so hopeful. There was alot of young activists and all seemed pretty much interesting we marched all around the northend and state street at like 11pm after sitting through a 2hr general assembly that used the people’s mic. They were both every interesting. Even though I doubt occupy anything is gonna do any kind of change in our world now, i think it was a good start…And I couldnt help having flashbacks from the Millionman march as a child in DC.

Five Ways Guys Show They ... blah blah fucking BLAH
I don’t typically read these things, but I felt like it today, and now I remember why I don’t read them. This is absolutely horrendous. It’s as if when a man is in “love” he is expected to change his entire life around for his lady, and this also makes all women sound like whiny needy bitches.
Remembering those “little things” is important, as well as sweet little out-of-the-blue acts, and I’ll give them that, but expecting him to attend every event that you want him to because that’s what a man is expected to do when he is in love? Bullshit. I can’t tell you the number of Christmas’s my father had to work and my mother never made a situation out of it. There are certain things that are simply unavoidable, and just because a man can’t make it to those “big events” doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you.
The “making concessions” section is what really upsets me. For whatever reason, you don’t like his things, thus, if he loves you, he’s expected to store them away to make you happy. Those things are a PART of him. When you fall in love with him, you fall in love with the package deal, comic books, video games, magic cards and all (I sound like I’m targeting a nerdy boy specifically. They’re just examples.) By cutting down these elements of his personality, you’re basically molding him to be the man you want him to be, and not the man he is. That, my friends, is disgusting.
The other thing is that not only does this make women sound like controlling, needy, whiny, bitches; it is set out as a “training tool” for girls who really wonder if there is some sort of guide to figuring out a man’s feelings. It’s not fair to call these girls stupid, but honestly, we ALL go through phase of reading Cosmo and trying entirely too hard to be impressive. The truth of the matter is articles like this are pure trash and will teach you nothing other than how to be a wretched human being.
You want to know how a guy feels about you? Ask him.
